(From the Times Special Correspondent lately at the Danish Head -quarters.) ELSINORE, May 5. Like Dresden or Munich, Copenhagen takes rank as an artistic capital. Ole man, great and good, has left upon it the mark of his genius; a man who could have created Scandinavian sculpture, but has only petrified that of Greece and Italy. It Las museums, highly improving as schools, but di ears as lounging places. It has theatres, too, with heavy dramas and propriety ballets. Unable to endure it at the end of a week, I took the steamer on Tuesday afternoon for Helsingore (Elsinore). In spite of the cruel, nipping, north-east wind, I enjoyed two hours on the Sound. The spot has great interest eeen after you have seen the Dardanehes and the Bos phorus, Messina and Gibraltar. I felt more at home in dead Elsinore than in living Copenhagen, Were I the King of Denmark,l would have no other home than Hamlet's old castl e , of Kronherg Slot. I visited it yesterd a y morning at the earl i est hour, when I had th e pl ace all to myself. The s i te is unequalled in the North; the building itself is attractive. It belongs to the Gothic style of the latter part of the 16th century, and has much in common with the Exchange and those two or three palaces in Copenhagen which ,!aere probably an eye sore to Thorwalsden, but which still delight men of more eclectic taste. Were it a ruin, and had it a green, bold hill for a background, it might vie in picturesqueness with the turrets and halls of dismantled Heidelberg. As it is, it stands out white and glittering on its bold headland (its "ore," or ear), a conspicuous object, visible for miles by land and sea, the great landmark of the Sound; a solid and not inelegant edifice of white stone, with leaden spires and pinnaces, within a labyrinth of bastions and batteries, of moats and casemates, which have ceased to be formidable in war, and might be turned into flower beds and groves, and become a perfect paradise in times of peace. The castle is out of town, adjoining the town, lording it over land and sea, the sovereign of the strait, the very nest for a sea-king. Elsinore is dying, dead : the little town could not survive the abolition of the Sound dues, on which it throve for so long a time. It has two or three heavy old churches, towering and lumbering, giving a certain air of grandeur and stateliness to the place ; it boasts a few consular establishments, with lofty flagstaffs; its fish market is still renowned, and the hotel is respectable. In " Hamlet," after all is said, lies the spell that will for ever attach itself to dear, declining Elsinore. It was by the steamer Hamlet that I went up the Sound the other day; it was by the Horatio that I came down this morn ing; and you may go to-morrow by the Ophelie. They took me to a spot in the woods, an elevated spot, where, embosomed in a grove of beech trees 200 years old, there stands a mound of earth, sur mounted by a dwarfish pillar, which, I was told, marks the spot of Hamlet's grave. There may be doubts as the last abode of the "yrince of Den mark ;" there can be none as to his home in the Kronberg Castle. Had I been there by moonlight, instead of in the glare of a clear frosty morning, I should have been as sure of falling in with the " old mole" burrowing the ground of the bastion as the worthy Dane was who hewed at the apparition with his partisan, and clove it in twain, making no more impression on its ghostly substance than he would have done upon vapour or gas. It Shakspere spun " Hamlet" out of his brain, then he created the castle and the town and the whole surrounding scenery, both land and sea. You may as well disbelieve the evidence of your own senses as question the reality of the action which has made Elsinore for ever memorable. Denman's " Danmark" may be a mere tissue 01 myths, but " Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is your true history. I lived the whole drama over again, and was, for a whole hour, in the seventh heav en. Presently, however, I fell from my dreamy tude, and a new, a living interest spread over the scene. There is always something earnest, and almost holy, about a nation's boundaries, especially if the line is one of God's own drawing; not an arbitrary limit, traced by the hand of no..n, but a national frontier, which may be politically trespassed upon, but which cannot be materially effaced. You ex perience the feeling as you stand on an Alpine sum mit before a mil estone bearing the name " France " on the wester n side, and that of "Italy" on the eastern. You are impressed with it as you walk on the bridge a t B ale, with the arrowy stream of the Rhine ru s hi ng beneath your feet—a barrier between the Gaul and th e T eu t o n to the end o f time. Here, on eith er side of the Sound, two human families, or rather two branches, twin branches of a human family, stand looking at each other, across this mere ditch of sea water, at barely two or three miles distance—as they stood looking at each other for centuries. Seen only a mile or two inland, the towers and spires of Relsingore so blend themselves with the houses and churches of Helsingford on the other side that the optical illusion is complete, and you fancy your eyes are resting upon one and the same town. Yet the two coasts are and have been eternally divided, and the people on them have been almost invariably estranged from one another ever since their earliest settlement in these nothern re gions. This land which I tread is Denmark ; yonder, across the water, all along the Sound on my right, and throughout that vast expanse of the Cattegat on my left, lies Sweden. Danes and Swedes were originally one people; Scandinavia seemed intended for one State ; the harsh language that grates on my ears on this side is by no means unlike the dialect which, no less harshly, would greet me were I to land on the opposite shore. But, with the exception of a few rare instances in which union between the countries was established by main force, the two kindred races have never coalesced; the two brothers have at all times been the worst of neigh bours. The time was when they seemed to live only to inflict all possible harm upon each other ; and the day has come, now, when one looks with sterile sympathy, at least, if not with perfect in difference, on the downfall of the other. Sweden has been but a lukewarm, useless friend to Den mark in her hour of need. She was lavish of her good wishes, she held meetings, she voted money, but she lent no efficient aid whatever. The Swedish and Norwegian volunteers in the Danish army at this present moment ma y almost be numbered on one's fingers' ends. Both at this juncture and in 1849 the performance of Sweden fell miserably short of her magnificent promises. Yet, in the fate of Denmark that of Sweden is undoubtedly, however remotely involved. The waning Scandinavian race is placed' between two millstones, which have been for cen turies grinding it to dust. Denmark is hardly more seriously threatened by German rapacity than Sweden 'is exposed to the cupidity of Russia Teutonic and Slavonic ambition will, in all proba bility, never rest till they come face to face on either bank of this very Sound. Like the Polish, the Italian, and so many other races, these bravo Northerners are threatened with subjection, if not with destruction, less by the strength of their neighbours than by division among themselves. We hear, indeed, in Copenhagen, as in Stock holm and Christiania, of a longing for unity—of national aspirations; but such yearnings are re stricted to a small party; they are the dream of a few intelligent, generous, but impracticable enthusiasts. The unusual antipathies between the lower classes are too deeply rooted, the present and momentous interests of the leading men of the two countries diverge too widely. Like most ether statesmen, the men at the head of the Swedish Government live by the day—they take no heed of the morrow; they labour under no apprehension of evils as yet looming in the distance. It has been said that King Charles takes the Danish cause strongly to heart ; that Norway especially is ready to rise en masse in support of what was only half a ' century ago her sister kingdom; but Sweden, as a Sta:s gives no signs, and she even throws out hints that she cannot and will not stir without sufficient encouragement of mightier Powers. While she waits and deliberates Denmark is lost, neverthelees ; and Sweden ought not to forget that Denmark cannot say to France or England what she plainly inti mates to her Scandinavian sister, "Mors mea, mows tun ! ' ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. STOCKPORT. The election of a representative for Stockport in stead of the late Mr. Kershaw, took place yester day at the Market Hall. About 1,000 people were present. The Mayor (Mr, John Eskrigge) presided as re turning officer. Alderman I.IOI3ERT M'CLURE nominated, and Alderman WILLIAMSON seconded, Mr. Edward W. Watkin as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Stockport in Parliament. There being no other candidate, the MAYOR called for a show of hands, when Mr. Watkin was elected unanimously. Mr. WATKIN was received with loud cheering. He thanked the electors for their confidence, and promised to do all he could to represent fairly their opinions, but supporting those measures which would be for the good of all classes of the community. After paying a tribute to the worth of their late representative, he said there were two pieces of good news which had been received that morning. One was that Lord Palmerston was getting better, and the other that there was more chance of peace through the action of the Conference. (Applause.) He was not one of those who were for peace at any price, but he was one who would pay any and every price, except the entire forfeiture of national honour, to prevent the bloodshed and loss of life and spolia tion that accompanied war, whether successful or the contrary. (Cheers.) We were pretty well bound over in this country to keep the peace. We had a national debt of £800,000,000, the interest of which being nearly £25,000,000 cost nearly £1 a head in taxation. Then we had a naval and military expenditure of equal amount, which increased the taxation to nearly £2 a head or £l2 for each family. He hoped, therefore, our states men wculd hesitate before mingling in Euro pean quarrels which never brought good to this country, but often prolonged the contest and had made us to be regarded on the Continent as meddling islanders, rather than a people who had a healthy public opinion to be brought to bear upon sur rounding States. Now we were at peace, let us strain every possible exertion to keep so. At the same time there were occasions when the feelings andisentiments of the people might become so out raged that peace was impossible. He most ear nestly hoped and prayed that the Conference might end in a fair and just decision with regard to Den mark, and a cessation of the outrages which during the last few months had shocked the conscience of the whole world. (Applause.) Denmark, after all, with its 4,000,000 people, was an honest State, with a free constitutional Government. In the north of Europe there were Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and Belgium, at which the line must be drawn, for in the northern portion of Europe all the large populations were practically under des potic or military Governments. In the south of Europe there was certainly the gratifying spectacle of the newly created and united kingdom of Italy, where Parliamentary Government was now " upon its trial." Therefore it was but natural to desire that that form of government which made thint:- ing men, namely, self-government, should be pro moted, and he should grieve to think that consti tutional government was about to be weakened and its area contracted by the destruction of Denmark. (Cheers.) But, while rejoicing in the prospects of peace, and feeling proud of the freedom and great. ness of our country, we should always remember that the way to keep England great was always to - - - be endeavouring to remedy political defects by in troducing into the machine of the State the most modern inventions. (Hear, hear.) We had in our constitution a great deal that was good and -something that was bad, and the bad was always a canker that extended and increased, and that must be removed. In this country there were about 6,000,000 fall• grown men ; about the same number of householders; and only 1,100,000 electors. He did not mean to say that it was neces sary, in order to have a free country and preserve individual liberty,there should be an enormous mass of voters, but it was necessary that every class should be fairly represented in that constituent body which was really the foundation of legislation. We might get on very well with a limited constituency, but it so happened that the number of members were not fairly proportioned to the number of con- stituencies : 200,000 electors returned rather more than one.half of the members, and it was just possi ble that some dirty little borough in the south of England under territorial influence, neutralised the votes of the representatives of an important town like Stockport. The scale was often turned by 30 or 40 electors; and with regard to many of these small boroughs, under the system of unfair division of the franchise, influence, bribery, and beer were the three elements which returned members to Par liament. (Cheers end laughter.) Under these cir cumstances, many of those good measures which the Reform Act might have given had been prevented, and what we had now to direct our attention to was an amendment of that reform. (Hear.) In 1859 Lord Derby's Government brought in a Reform Bill, but although there were some good features about it, it was not what might be called a good one. The present Government came in on the statement that the Tory Reform Bill was bad and that they were going to give us a better. The Go- vernment had not done so, and it would rest with ;he electoral body to say whether at the next general election (which might take place in a few weeks or months) the question of an amendment of the Reform Bill Ilan be that which will carry a candidate on the hustings. Much of the re sult, it should be recollected, depended upon the electors themselves. Parliament was pretty much what the electors made it. If there was a con- stitneney of drunkards, there would not be many teetotal members of Parliament, and if a constitu- ency were composed entirely of members of the Church of England, but few of the representatives would be dissenters. If a constituent body was earnest and liberal its representatives would correspond, and those remedial measures which were thought necessary could be obtained. He therefore looked with the greatest anxiety upon what the public opinion of the country might say when these gentlemen who were denominated the servants of the people were sent to the place whence they came, and had to stand before their supporters at a general election. When we were spending nearly £70,000,000 a year in taxation, it was quite time to look about and see whether by the prosecu tion of peace we could not obtain retrenchment, and whether by retrenchment we might not reduce some of those grievous burdens of taxation which were 'elt so much among various classes of the community. ',Cheers.) It was only the manufactures and commerce of the country that could enable us to bear it. Our imports and exports added together had grown to the enormous amount of 1460,000,000 sterling, and the difference of profit between what we sent out and took in was more than £100,000,000 and it map out of that we paid the greatest portion of our taxation, and if the country ceased to be com mercial and manufacturing its glory would bode- parted, and it would sink to the level of a second or third rate power. When he heard persons passing strictures on free trade, and when he found there were still a few whose eyes were not yet opened to the great results of allowing people to transact their business where and how they pleased, he was com pelled to go back and compare the present period PR1CE...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. with the time when Richard Cobden first appeared on the Stockport hustings. (Cheers.) Since then our imports and exports bad so increased, that the profit had grown from 35 to 102 mil lions. The increase also of consumable commodi ties was astonishing, end the food had been con sumed by what were termed the lower orders of society, who did not previously get enough, It was by such comparisons as those that people could esti mate the great and blessed results achieved by those free trade measures. (Applause.) If there was one thing in this country of which we had more reason to be proud than another it was that glorious, healthy, and manly public opinion which,whancver it was aroused, could carry everything before it. That opinion was founded upon the honesty, truth fulness, and love of fair play of the English people at large. It was improved and strengthened and puri fied by teachings from the thousands of free pulpits which distinguished and illustrated the religions freedom of this land; it was nerved, guided, and in structed by a free press, and whenever it chose to rouse itself in its might, there was no question of difficulty it could not disentangle, no wrong it could not redress. (Cheers.) It forced Catholic Emanci pation from the Duke of Wellington, it compelled reform from the Parliament of borough-mongers, it extracted free trade from the Protectionist Govern ment of Sir Robert Peel, and it had yet to make and would make many changes beneficent and blessed, which would increase the power and glory and strength of this country. (Cheers.) The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Mayor. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(May 9.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The noble and learned lords present were the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Wensleydale, and Lord Chelmsford. THE BELEADALBANE PEERAGE.-CAMPBELL V. CAMPBELL. The question in this appeal from the Court of Session is whether that Court was right in refusing to appoint a judi cial factor, or receiver, to receive the rents and administer the estates of the earldom of Breadalbane until it be ascer tained by the proceedings now pending who is the true heir entitled to succeed to the estates and earldom. The points immediately before the house were of a technical character, and involved a great deal of dry legal argument. They were, first, whether the Court of Session were or were not bound in case of a disputed succession to appoint a receiver of the rents where a prima fade case had been made out on both sides; secondly, whether the appellant had made out a prima fade case; and, thirdly, whether or not the respon dent was entitled, as heir apparent, to keep the possession he alleged he had acquired during the proceedings at law. The facts of the case as stated during the course of the arguments were of considerable interest, bearing as they do upon the succession to the earldom and to the estates at tached to the title, the value of the latter being more than £50,000 per annum. These facts are as follow :—The second Marquis and fifth Earl of Breadalbane died Nov. 8, 1862, without issue, being at the time possessed under deeds of ental of very large estates. On his death the title of mar quis became extinct, and two claimants appeared, each of whom contended that he was the sixth Earl of Breadalbane, and as such entitled to possession of the estates. The first of these claimants, John Alexander Gavin Campbell, alleged that he was the heir male of his great grandfather, William of Glenfalloch, ; who was the ,substitute in the deeds of entail under which the late marquis held the estates and was related to that nobleman in a Scotch cousinship of 10 removes. William of Glenfalloch died in 1791, leaving seven sons-1, Colin, whose issue became extinct in the person of John Breadalbane in 1812 ; 2, James, who left one son, William John Lambe, the father of the first claimant ; 3, Duncan, who died unmarried in 1810 ; 4, Archibald, who died without leaving heir male in 1806; 5, William, who died unmarried in 1791; 6, John of Boreland, who left a son Charles, the father of Lieut. Chas. William, the second claimant; and 7, Alexander, whose issue, if any, would not affect the present claims. The first claimant therefore is the eldest in the succession, and were his legi timacy unquestiDned he would undoubtedly be the rightful Earl and the owner of the estates. Charles Wm. Campbell, the adverse claimant, now a lieutenant in the 19th Bengal Cavalry, however, contends that John is illegitimate, on the ground that his grandmother, Mrs Elizabeth Maria Blan chard, at the time she married his grandfather, Capt. Jas. Campbell, in 1782, was a married woman, and that her hus band, one Christopher Ludlow, was then alive, and that therefore, such second man iage being void, their soh Wil liam, the faiher of the claimant, was illegitimate. In order to make out this case Lieut. Charles Campbell states that he has discovered in the marriage registry of Chipping Sudbury, in Giocestershire, the following entry : " Christopher Ludlow, of ys parish, and Elizabeth Maria Blanchard, of ye same parish, were married in this church by licence this fifth day of June, in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, by me, " R. COATES, Curate." In the register of baptisms in the same parish is an entry of the birth of a son Daniel, the issue of Christopher and Eliza Ludlow, in 1777. Lieut. Campbell proposes to prove that shortly after the birth of this child this Mrs Ludlow eloped from her husband, which event caused the latter so much distress that he gave up his practice as a medical man in Sudbury, and went to America, where he was for some time garrison surgeon in New York. He returned to this country some time in 1783, and died in January, 1784, as proved by an obituary notice in the Bristol tZfawspaper of Saturday, the 31st of January, 1784. In addition to this evidence of his existence at that date, his will is produced, dated June 24, 1784, which was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and probate granted in 1784. Captain James Campbell, the grandfather of John, is stated to have married a Mrs Eliza or Elizabeth Maria Blanchard, the only evidence of such marriage being the following letter, written in June,lBo7, by the lady, seeking pecuniary assist ance, to the War-office, after her alleged husband's death, which occurred in October, 1806 : " I am the widow of Captain James Campbell, late quar termaster in the Ist battalion of the Breadalbane Fencibles, at the reduction of which he got a company in the Cam brian Rangers; and when that regiment was reduced, from ill health he was rendered unfit to enter again in his Ma jesty's service, and on the 24th of October, 1806, my hus band died insolvent, and left me with three children with out the smallest means of support. I apply'd to the half pay agent respecting the widow's pension, and have made oath before a magistrate, but as I unfortunately lost my marriage lines in America I am enformed it cannot be pro cured. My husband was Insign and Lieutenant in the 40th Regiment of Foot during the war with that country. At the end of the year 1780 he came to England to recruit, and in September, 1782, 1 was married to Mr Campbell in Edin burgh by Mr Macgregor, the Gabe minister, who is also dead, as is Insign William Willox, of the 40th, who was the witness to our marriage, and the June following we went to America in the fteet that took out the preliminary's of peace 25 years ago. The present Gallic minister have been wrote to, and he says that he got no register from any of his pre decessors. I have administered at Doctors' Commons for four months' pay due to my husband at his death, and I have a power of attorney, which he sent from Gibraltar at the time he was in the Cambrian Rangers. 1 beg, Sir, you will excuse my being thus particular, as my motive is to ob viate any doubts of my being Mr Campbell's lawful wife." The two Elizabeth Maria Blanchards being assumed to be the same person, it is alleged that, even admitting that the latter marriage took place as stated in the letter, her first husband was alive at the time, and it was therefore void. Under these circumstances, it was contended that John Campbell, as the descendant of the invalid marriage, was illegitimate, which would leave Lieutenant Charles Camp bell the eldest male heir in the succession and the rightful successor to the title and estates. On the other hand, John Campbell shows that for upwards of 50 years he and his father have been in undisputed possession of the estate of Glenfalloch in the character of the nearest heirs male of William of Glenfalloch. He and his father have always been recognized as legitimate by the family, and it is only now, 80 years after the disputed marriage took p l ace , that any question as to its validity has been raises, In variouse deeds of entail executed by members of the family the respondent's father has been always named as entitled to to t succeed before the appellant's father. The appellant make out that the person who married Christopher ow was the same who married the responde nt's grandfather, and then that the respondent's father , w hose legitimacy is co h a bitation of his parent s for seven years would render questioned, was born before the dea th of Chr i stopher Lud low, otherwise the subsequent him legitimate acc or di ng to the Scotch laws, even if no proof of a subsequent marriage between them could be established. The ( w ith whorl was Mr. Roll), for th e appellant, contended t hat justice ra quirad that the su b j ect in dispute, the interests of Lord n o Advocate w and regarding w hi c h competition had ari sen, should be p re served until the rights of the contending parties were determined, In the present case there was a disputed question of succession, and until this point was determined there was no reason for preferring one claimant over the other, and therefore it would be ex ceedingly unfair to afford one the immense advantage over the other which the possession of an income of £50,000 per annum would give him. It had always been the practice of the Court of Session to appoint factors in such cases, and it was especially necessary in this case, where neither party had as yet obtained any possession of the estates. The ap pellant had established a prima facie case, which enabled him to support his claim, and against which the respondent - c 3 - 1 7t T:- ' . .A\t 3 , , 'rof-il 4.17 * , could only allege that he naa always been eons' . ii4tiet4 * , - "1": mate ; and under these circumstances, if a ju,4lcVaV - '' " 4 : .1 . .: were not appointed, serious disputes and conilrCte4 : -, ,/.4 arise between the appellant and the respondent, lasigi4riiiii; 4 . , 474 ment would be caused to the tenants and occupantsAynd ~., —.. great hiss to the estates. He further contended thirthe 44 S appointment of a factor could be prejudicial to neither party, while the refusal to appoint one might be productive of the most flagrant and irreparable injustice. It would probably be two years before the final decision was given; and, in case the result was favourable to the appellant, what re medy could he havo against the respondent for the £100,600 the latter might have received and spent ? The Lord Chancellor—You will have to "take the brecks off the Highlander." The Lord Advocate said probably that would be their only remedy ; and he concluded by calling upon their lord ships to prevent the possibility of such a gross injustice being done. The arguments were not concluded when their lordships adjourned. Naval andlitary Intelligence, - THE NA VY. I I The Prince Consort ironclad, 35 guns, 4,045 t ons an d I,COD horse power of engines, Capt. 0. Willes, C.B , arrived at Spithead yesterday afte rnoon, f rom Cowes ' Roads, immediately following on her Majesty's departure from Osborne for Windsor. She is ordered to take on board supernumeraries and stores and sail again imme diately to join the Channel Fleet in the Downs. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, 2,345 tons, 600 horse power, Capt. the Prince of Leiningen, K.C.8., will make an official trial of her machinery on Thursday next, outside Portsmouth harbour, on the com pletion of repairs to her engines and the fitting of her new boilers, preparatory to being handed over by the dockyard authorities as ready for her Majesty's service. The Salamis, 2 gun paddlewheel despatch vessel, of 835 _ _ _ tone, and 250 horse power of engines, Commander Sattie, will, according to private advices, sail from Sheerness for " the North" on Thursday or Friday next. The Salamis is a sister vessel to the Admiralty new yacht Enchantress, possesses a high rate of speed, and would be most in valuah!e as a look-out vessel attached to the Channel Fleet in the event of any collision with the Alvtro-Prussian fleet in the Baltic. The Highflyer, 21, screw corvette, 1,161 tons and 2,50 horse power, has got her topmasts on end, and lower and topmast rigging in position, in progress of outfit for com mission. The Sharpshooter, 6, iron, screw sloop, of 503 tons and 202 horse power, is in a similar stage of progress for commission as the Highflyer. Both vessels are being brought forward for commission as rapidly as the existing dockyard system will permit. The Torch, 5, 428 tons, in No. 3 dock at Chatham, having been surveyed by the dockyard officials, and a report of her condition made to the Controller of the Navy, is ordered to undergo a thorough repair, at an estimated cost of between. £7,000 and £B,OOO. The iron troopship Himalaya, in Plymouth Sound, will probably leave on Thursday next: It is said there that she will proceed to the Mediterranean, and thence to the West Indies. Mr P. Thornton, late Assistant Master Shipwright at Woolwich, who has been doing duty as acting master ship wright at Chatham since the retirement of Mr 0. W. Lang, received his official appointment as master shipwright of the dockyard. Mr Lang has been awarded a pension of £455 per annum. In accordance with the new regulations relating to super annuations in the Royal dockyards, recently laid down by the Admiralty, upwards of 30 mechanics and artisans have been superannuated from Chatham dockyard during the last, few days, or pensions varying in amount according to their length of service. About 20 hired ropemakers were discharged from Devon. port dockyard on Saturday. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt A. F. R. De Horsey, to the Wolverine—Commander H. B. Woollcombe to the As surance—G. Worth, midshipman, to the Wolverine—T. M. Ramage, paymaster, to the Edgar—Edward Pye, assist clerk, to the Galatea—Robert Brown, chief engineer, to the Assurance—J. C. Grey, 1. Fielden, W.
